Background and Objectives: Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in permanent mature teeth is a common indication for nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT), but contemporary studies have reported on vital pulp therapy (VPT) applied in such teeth as a less invasive treatment. This systematic review assessed the outcomes of VPT, including partial and full pulpotomy performed with hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs) in permanent mature posterior teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: The PRISMA guidelines were followed. The search strategy included PubMed®, EMBASE, Cochrane library and grey literature electronic databases. The quality assessment of the identified studies followed the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias, ROBINS-I and Newcastle–Ottawa Scale tools. Results: The search of primary databases identified 142 articles, of which 9 randomized controlled trials and 3 prospective cohort studies were selected for review. The risk-of-bias was assessed as ‘high’ or ‘serious’, ‘fair’, and ‘low’ for three, seven and two articles, respectively. One to five years after VPT using HCSCs, the success rates mostly ranged from 78 to 90%. Based on two articles, the outcomes of the VPT and NSRCT were comparable at one and five years. Despite the necessity for the intra-operative pulp assessment in VPT procedures, the majority of the studies did not fully report on this step or on the time needed to achieve hemostasis. Small sample sizes, of under 23 teeth, were reported in three studies. Conclusions: The reviewed 12 articles reported favorable outcomes of the VPT performed with HCSCs in permanent mature posterior teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, with radiographic success in the range of 81 to 90%. Two articles suggested comparable outcomes of the VPT and root canal treatment. Universal case selection and outcome criteria needs to be established for VPT when considered as an alternative to NSRCT. This evidence supports the need for further research comparing longer-term outcomes of both of the treatment modalities.

Background: It is important to control the pain associated with root canal treatment (RCT) in endodontic. Pain accompanying fear and anxiety due to endodontic treatment can be reduced by anesthetic techniques. The present study aims to compare the effect of articaine versus lidocaine local anesthesia for inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) and long buccal nerve block on pain during RCT. METHODS: Twenty patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis of mandibular posterior tooth were selected. The patients randomly received either cartridge of lidocaine or articaine using IANB and long buccal nerve block. The patients were randomly divided into two groups of ten. Group 1: patients received IANB and long buccal nerve block 2% lidocaine with 1:100000 epinephrine. Group 2: patients received IANB and long buccal nerve block with 4% articaine with 1:100000 epinephrine. Before the Injection, the patient received all information about the visual analysis scale (VAS). Pain was evaluated using VAS scale in numberic value 1 to 10 number. The pain was evaluated at three different stages: before administration of LA, after immediate access opening, and after immediate obturation procedure. Data were analyzed using various suitable statistical tests. RESULT: The mean value of efcacy of pain before administration of local anesthesia (LA) was 8.50 ± 0.97 for lidocaine and 8.30 ± 0.48 for articaine had no signicant difference. A signicant difference was observed at two different duration after immediate access opening and after immediate obturation where articaine has a lower mean value 3.60 ± 1.08 and 1.60 ± 0.17 respectively (P>0.05) as compared to the mean value of lidocaine 4.10 ± 1.10 and 1.60 ± 0.17 respectively Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, in cases of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis articaine 4% did not alleviate pain much and showed better anesthetic efcacy than 2% lidocaine with IANB and long buccal nerve block.

Endodontic retreatment is an attempt to reachieve a healthy periapical after it was previously been carried out an inadequate or reinfected endodontic retreatment that has been filled due to the leakage of apical and coronal. One stage in this retreatment is an uptake of obturasi material using hedstrom file (H-file). The solvent material used in this endodontic retreatment is xylol. Case report. A 22-year-old male patient came to the Clinic of Conservative Dentistry Dental Hospital Prof. Soedomo, Faculty of Dentistry, Gadjah Mada University (UGM) wanted to treat his mandibular second right premolar (45) that has been painful since two months ago. The tooth had root canal treatment one year ago. The pain suddenly appears and disappears as soon as the patient consumes painkillers. Dental preoperative (periapical) radiograph tooth 45 showed a picture of gutta percha root canals and radiolucent images at the tip of the root of the tooth. Diagnosis of tooth 45 is non-vital tooth after root canal treatment accompanied by apical, symptomatic periodontitis. The operator performed a root canal treatment by dismantling the restoration on the occlusal part of tooth 45 and taking gutta percha using a hedstrom file followed by treatment of the root canal, crown lengthening, installation of individual formable fiber post and porcelain fused to metal crown. Conclusion. Retreatment of root canal treatment with non-surgical methods still can be conducted effectively and obtain good results with the final treatment results in smaller lesions in the apical portion of tooth 45.

Abstract Aim and objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcome of MTA as a pulpotomy agent in permanent teeth as an alternative to conventional root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: Ten permanent teeth with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis with vital pulp were selected for the study. MTAPulpotomy procedure was done in all the cases using standard protocol. Teeth were evaluated for various clinical and radiographic parameters at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow up. Results: None of the patients reported any kind of clinical discomfort or radiographic abnormality during the follow up period of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. All the teeth responded positive on electric pulp test at all successive follow ups. Conclusions: MTA Pulpotomy may be used as an alternative treatment modality to root canal treatment in permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis, if future research continues to show promising results.

Objective: The present prospective comparative clinical trial was undertaken to compare the outcomes of single and two-visit root canal treatment of irreversible pulpitis. Methodology: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics of Dhaka Dental College on patients who presented with pain due to irreversible pulpitis. Patients with single-rooted teeth with uncomplicated canal and full-formed apex having irreversible pulpitis were included. However, pregnant women or patients under treatment of antibiotics, cortiosteiods or suffering from any systemic diseases or immuno-compromised patients or patients having teeth with calcified canal or periodontal disease were excluded. A total of 80 patients who met the eligibility criteria were consecutively included and were randomly assigned to either one-visit (n = 40) or two-visit (n = 40) treatment groups. Data were kept on pulp vitality status, the presence or absence of pre-operative pain and degree of post obturation pain at 6, 12, 24, 48 hours and 1 week postoperatively. The outcome variable was intensity of pain which was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) as 0 = no pain, 1 = slight pain or discomfort, 2 = moderate pain relieved by analgesic, 3 = moderate to severe pain not completely relieved by analgesics and 4 = severe pain or swelling not relieved by analgesics and required unscheduled visit. Result: Forty percent of the patients in the two-visit group did not have any pain (measured in terms of visual analogue scale) at 12 hours compared to 25% in the single visit group, although the difference did not turn significant (p = 0.580). Likewise the proportion of patients without pain in the two-visit group was considerably higher (52.5%) at 24 hours than that in the single-visit group (45%) (p = 0.852). Improvement in pain sensation was reported to be significantly higher in the two-visit group (as 95% of the patients did not complain any pain) at 48 hours than that in the single-visit group (80% of the patients did not complain any pain) (p = 0.015). None of the patients of either group complained of pain one week postoperatively. Conclusion: Compared to single-visit, two-visit root canal treatment showed better results in terms of intensity of post-obturation pain at 12, 24 and 48 hours after root canal treatment for irreversible pulpitis.

Selama prosedur preparasi saluran akar, kemungkinan patahnya instrumen selalu ada. Saat ini instrumen yang patah dapat dikeluarkan dengan menggunakan alat ultrasonik seperti jarum Miller yang dihubungkan dengan tip ultrasonik endo, selain itu diperlukan juga akses dan visibilitas yang baik sehingga memudahkan operator untuk mengeluarkan instrumen yang patah tersebut. Tujuan laporan kasus ini adalah untuk melaporkan keberhasilan pengambilan  lentulo patah di dalam saluran akar menggunakan jarum miller yang dihubungkan dengan tip ultrasonik endo dikombinasikan dengan hedstroem no 25. Dalam makalah ini dilaporkan satu kasus perawatan saluran akar gigi molar satu kiri bawah pulpitis irreversibel pada pasien wanita 20 tahun, namun terjadi patah lentulo saat pengaplikasian bahan sterilisasi saluran akar. Pengambilan lentulo berhasil dilakukan pada kunjungan kedua dengan menggunakan jarum miller yang dihubungkan dengan tip ultrasonik endo serta hedstroem file no 25. Visibilitas didapatkan dengan melakukan coronal flaring menggunakan heroshaper dari mikro mega yang dihubungkan dengan alat rotary. Setelah 1 minggu, gigi diobturasi dengan teknik single cone pada saluran akar distal dan teknik kondensasi lateral pada saluran akar mesiobukal dan mesiolingual. Pada kunjungan berikutnya, gigi direstorasi dengan resin komposit disertai pasak dentatus screw. Setelah 2 bulan diamati secara radiografis dan klinis, tidak ada keluhan dari pasien.Broken Lentulo Removal During Root Canal Treatment On The First Molar Mandible Sinistra With Pulp Necrosis. During root canal preparation procedure, there is always potential for instrument breakage. Nowadays, broken instruments can be removed using ultrasonic instruments such as a needle miller connected to endo ultrasonic tip, but it needs good access and visibility in order to make it easier for the operator to remove the broken instruments. The aim of this case report is to present the successful removal of a broken lentulo left in a root canal by using smooth broach connected to a ultrasonic endo tip combined with an hedstroem file no 25. This paper reports a case of molar root canal treatment of the lower left irreversible pulpitis in 20 year-old female patient, but the incident of broken lentulo occured while applying root canal medicament. The effort to remove lentulo was successful on the second visits using a needle miller connected to endo ultrasonic tip and headstrom file no 25. Visibility was obtained by using a coronal flaring of micro mega hero shaper associated with the rotary tool. In the following week, the teeth was obturated with single cone technique on the distal root canal applying the lateral condensation technique on mesiolingual and mesiobuccal root canal. In the next visit, the teeth were restored with composite resin with dowel dentatus screw. After 2 months of being observed radiographically and clinically, there is no more complaint from the patient
